Parent Comments
Julie Yates, parent
“I am impressed as a parent on how much my son has learned by having his own laptop this year. I think the MS and Tech Staff has gone above and beyond by offering an outstanding integrated tech program. Before the 1 to 1 he went from occasionally using a laptop to almost daily use. As a result he has become much more tech savvy. He has gone from asking me questions to me asking him questions. What a year! Thanks for everything!!!”
“The following thought was shared at a Parent Workshop by a parent that is new to the Craig district/island. The family came from the south 48 and never dreamed they would encounter this level of learning opportunity when they moved to rural Alaska.” - Cheryl Bobo, District Technology Director
Brad Darr, parent
"The laptop computer provided by Craig Schools provides more than just academics to our children. It provides them with the ability to develop character, responsibility and integrity in the management of their individual laptop and that is a full education: academics, character, responsibility and integrity!"

“The best thing about having a laptop of my own is that it is a lot easier to keep track of all of my assignments, and my locker is cleaner”.

“The laptops changed how we turn in our work. We can turn it in when we are done by iChat or email and not have to wait until the next day in the class”.

“The laptops have helped me because I can type faster than I can write and I get more done faster. I have time to do my make-up work and get better grades”.

”The coolest thing about the laptops is that when we are done with an assignment we can just send it to our teachers.”
